Right!
So for starters, top of the New Year to ya!
Happy New Year dude
I'm drinking myself today
Not alcoholic though...
I thought just for a change...
For a change he says...
For a change, I'm having SAKE!
This year, I'm going to be watching everyone else in 3D...
So how was it?
Where did you go for New Years?
I went to my family home in Australia
AUSTRALIA?! Wait a minute, what's up with that?
Dude, aren't you supposed to be a Kiwi?
Right, I just travel there to discriminate against them..
That and my Mum is actually Australian...
So family home in Australia, lovely and summer there
Spending my days lazing by the pool on warm lovely days...
Right, Australia is warm right now...
Summertime, my man
Man, winter here is freezing...
Victor, where did you go?
Me? I went to New York and Florida
Hey, that sounds pretty sweet
Florida sounds warm, how was that?
How is it there this time of year
It's warm, but it's much warmer in Summer everyday
We were just going out shopping
Nothing but shopping?
We were shopping, I mean, everything in the States is hella cheap right now
Oh right, US dollar is weak, yen is strong
Right, strong yen is kicking ***
The strong yen is going to make the world end
You know, these hats are waay popular in New York right now
Hats like THAT?
Crazy popular, they're freaking everywhere
$15 or $20, so about 1,200 or 1,300 yen...
That's cheap
This one is 390 yen
It boggles my mind that fashion like that can be bought with money
I bought this at a Sankyu store, so Japan is actually cheaper
Ya don't say...
So you spent Christmas in America too? Just New Years?
We spent Christmas in Japan, but New Years...
So for Christmas, did you buy lots of KFC and go on a date?
Right, I lined up at KFC and had a date with my wife
No, just pullin' ya leg
I mean really, who actually DOES that sort of thing?
Wait, what DID I do...?
Oh right, I hung out with my little brother
Oh, your hermano?
We got together with my brother's family, and his wife too
I can't stand Christmas in Japan any more
So I went abroad from the 23rd
We just did a totally normal Christmas abroad
A traditional Christmas having barbequeues by the pool
A proper Christmas you spend outside enjoying the sun
Man, I can't even imagine that
Christmas is hot, man
Nono, THIS is Christmas!
Nonono, you've got it all wrong. Christmas is going to the beach
That's for SUMMER
Nono, you hang out in your togs outside, eat yummy food
Hey man, do you eat that Osechi Cooking (Japanese New Years food)?
I love that stuff!
No way...
That stuff is great. I mean, that's the only time you get to eat it
Next year, I'll definitely be in Japan for it
I've decided
I still can't get used to Osetchi food
I like New Years in Japan, it's great
Going to Hatsu Mode (shrine visiting)
I like those ceremonies and stuff too, I get that
I'm cool with Ozoni (mochi rice cakes in soup), that stuff is good, but not Osetchi
For real?
Yeah man, I mean, if I go home, I can just eat all sorts of great food
Osetchi is kinda like Christmas Cake to me
Everyone eats it as tradition, but it doesn't actually taste that good
Even Japanese see it like that I think
That stuff tastes great, I like it
Yeah man, but it's a special day, people should eat their favorite foods
Just my opinion
I think it tastes good so it's all good to me
You're lucky if you can see it that way
In Australia, I had lots of roast lamb, cake and stuff
Totally put on weight...
What do Australians eat, anyway?
I think they eat kangaroos and stuff...
CROCODILES! They eat those, right?
Right, crocodiles and stuff
You can eat those, but they aren't all THAT normal, actually
Over there, I think they just have roast chicken, lamb, beef...
Usually some kind of roast
And you eat that outside, and have food on the BBQ nearby with salad
Eat that with lots of wine, and have cake afterwards
And you have cricket turned on the telly
And you chill out swimming in the pool and stuff
What the hell is cricket?
Cricket, you know, the best sport in the world
Never heard of it.
Rude!
Don't you mean baseball?
Baseball is just a cheap rip off of cricket
But Japanese don't know cricket either, right?
Yeah, they don't really know, even though it exists here
There are cricket clubs in Tokyo
But Japanese don't really know about it
The rules are pretty complicated
I'll admit, baseball is much easier to follow
Cricket is fun because it has a lot of depth
Depth?
It has lots of rules and intricacies
That's what makes it cool
That's why all those math whizz Indians love cricket so much
Right, Indians love cricket don't they?
Indians rock it
I suck at math so I'm not cut out for it
I'm sure Australians are even worse at math
What about rugby?
What about rugby?
Rugby is a winter sport
Too hot to play that crap in summer
It's hell playing rugby in Summer
So how long was it since you were back in Australia?
About five years since I was last there, I think
It's been a while
Has it changed?
Naah, that place doesn't change much
Aussies are Aussies, the place is always laid back and relaxed
It's a nice place to go to
Did you hear anything from Aussies complaining at Japanese whaling or anything?
I don't really get that crap
People were more interested in the quake and stuff
Oh right
There are Aussies who carry on about whaling
If any turn up in my family, it's easy, I'd just slap them
Here's your freaking whale!
So everyone was interested in the quake?
Asking if it was okay?
Right, people asking about Tokyo
It was actually pretty big in Tokyo
So there was that
There was another quake today right!
Just a little one, shindo 2
My wife didn't even notice it
We hardly get any quakes in Nagoya
Right, so where to for the oyajis in 2012?
We took a bit of a break because we've had some technical issues
Even now, I think your video isn't so great
Right, so I'm talking with the makers of this recording software
It is meant to get a lot better at the end of the month
So when that comes out, we'll shoot another 3-way vlog
Specifically, we recorded a GREAT video with Ren for our last vid
But the truth is that we actually had an even better video before that
It all got messed up in editing
So I really want to go back and make sure everything is going smoothly
And come back with more episodes
We already have people like StarletShay, Milkjamjuice, Radley, and other cool people lined up
I can't wait to get them in
In New York, there is ItsCandyTime - Systemjap
Right, he was doing a lot to get our attention
I've been really rude and haven't responded
But Brian is great, it will be great to get him into this
He'd be fantastic
And so we make sure everyone can do this in Japanese and English and will go that way
And there is a lot to look forward to in this series for this year
So stay tuned
We'll get into gear probably in February
And try to do this once every two weeks
I'd really like to do this each week
But that's if everything is running smoothly
So we are still going to have the extra half
For now... well, even this, we ARE Two and a Half Oyajis on our own
And we still are going to make one more
Ren is the current half
And we are going to make one more for her channel
Right, we will do one more vid with Ren before anything else
On her channel, we will talk about horror films in English
MAYBE
I think she said she wanted to talk about our personal ideas of Hell
Right right
That's going to be hella fun
She's great, the videos go well with her in them
So there is that to look forward to
And I'm going to do more of this sort of thing on my own channel too
So let's stick at it and make 2012 a good year dude
Yeah man
Send us any cool ideas or suggestions you have
And if you want to join in let us know
Right, video response
So that's it for today...
We talked a lot and subtitles are a pain in the *** (line 192 right now...)
So, see you guys next time
Oh, my wife is calling
